M a s t e r Ta s k L i s t — The Master Task List is where you keep tasks that you need to accomplish during the month but are unsure about when you will complete them. List everything you want or need to accomplish personally and professionally. Key assignments, household projects, and important tasks are perfect for the Master Task List.

M o n t h ly I n d e x — Use the monthly index as a table of contents for information recorded on your daily notes for the month. By summarizing information in the monthly index, you won’t have to search through every page of your planner when you need to access information quickly.

Defining Values

Values Value: Clarifying Statement:

The FranklinCovey planner is designed so you can plan your everyday activities in harmony with your deepest values—the core principles that govern your behavior. Your mission statement is a great start to identifying and clarifying your values. All FranklinCovey planners contain a Values form like this one to record your values, which in turn are used to help you create meaningful long-range and intermediate goals. A sample form is provided for your use on the following page.

Value: Clarifying Statement:

Values Value: Professionalism Clarifying Statement:

I do excellent work every day. I am open to the ideas of others.

Writing a Mission Statement

Because each individual is unique, a mission statement will reflect that uniqueness, both in content and form. An effective mission statement may consist of a few words or several pages. Mission statements can be written in poetry, prose, music, or art, and written for individuals, couples, families, or organizations.

One of the most powerful methods to cultivate a life of purpose and vision is to create and live by a Personal Mission Statement, philosophy, or creed. Such statements capture what you want in life—qualities you want to develop, what you want to accomplish, and what contributions you want to make. Clarity on these issues is critical. It affects the goals you set, the decisions you make, the views you hold, and the ways you spend your time.

Writing a mission statement is not a “to do” list to be checked off. To be empowering, it has to become a living document. You must ponder it, memorize it, review it, update it, and write it into your heart and mind.

A mission statement based on correct principles becomes a standard for an individual. A personal constitution, it is the basis for making life-directing decisions as well as daily decisions in the midst of circumstances and emotions that affect your life.

Mission Statement Workshop This mission statement workshop may be used to help you create a mission statement or to examine your current mission statement. The questions are designed to help you think deeply about your life.

Don’t become overwhelmed by the task of writing a mission statement. First, write a rough draft and refine it over the next several weeks or months. To help you get started, ask yourself the following questions:

What Matters Most to You? List those things that are most important in your life. _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________

What would I really like to be and do in my life? What are my greatest strengths? How do I want to be remembered? Who is the one person who has made the greatest positive impact in my life?

How effective are you at keeping these things first in your life? Why? _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________

What have been my happiest moments in life? If I had unlimited time and resources, what would I do?

Now that you have identified what matters most, take a few minutes to answer the following questions. Your responses will assist you in the continual exploration of your mission statement. If you were to do one thing in your professional life that would have the most positive impact, what would that one thing be? _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________

Which of these qualities do you value enough to include in your mission statement? _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________

If you were to do one thing in your personal life that would have the most positive impact, what would that one thing be? _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________

Record your mission statement, philosophy, or creed. Your mission statement is your personal constitution and represents the deepest and best within you. _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________

Setting Goals

Goal Planning Value/Mission/Role (why?):

Long-range goals are dreams with deadlines. They provide a link between your core values and your weekly and daily activities. By organizing long-range goals into smaller, more manageable steps, you consistently accomplish what matters most in your life. Weekly planning helps you incorporate these smaller steps into your week and day. Daily planning enables you to prioritize your daily tasks and stay focused.

Goal (what?/when?):

To set an effective long-range goal, ask yourself three vital questions: What do I want to accomplish? Why do I want to do it? How will I do it?

Steps (how?)
